Rumbrave - Murder By Death

I had jade colored eyes

That shimmered in the sun

If you stared at them too long

You’d catch a glimpse of what I’d done

The faces of the damned

And all the butchered lambs

If I had to do it over

I just would’ve done it slower

When we meet

You will see

I will destroy everything of beauty

When we meet

Then you’ll know

I’ll be the axe that clears the forest

When I had my fill and tasted every kill

There was nothin' left to do

But bow out of this world

I heard tell of a place

Where the dead walk tall and proud

Where men like me were needed

To thin the growing crowd

Deep below the dunes I roved

Past the rows

Past the rows

Beside the acacias freshly in bloom

I sent men to their doom

I spent those days runnin' hard and fast

With no place to lay my head

And the sound of the rain against the roof

Was loud enough to wake the dead

And my legs were tired and my feet were cold

All I could do was get back on the road

So I came upon a shanty town

Full of bitter men

Where carved into a crude wood sign

It read 'Welcome to the end'

For a dollar you could buy a girl

Of every possible design

But you couldn’t find one decent man

Or a word spoken kind

Whiskey was for supper

A man couldn’t ask for better

When we meet

You will see

I will destroy everything of beauty

When we meet

Then you’ll know

I’ll be the axe that clears the forest

I spent those days runnin' hard and fast

With no place to lay my head

The sound of the rain against the roof

Was loud enough to wake the dead

And my legs were tired and my feet were cold

All I could do was get back on the road

We were left alone

Left alone

Every king on his lonely throne

We were left alone

Left alone

Every king on his lonely throne
